Frequently Asked Questions

Waterproof boots use a sealed membrane or bootie inside the boot along with sealed seams, so water cannot work through the leather or the stitching. Water-resistant leather sheds a shower but takes on water in standing mud or over a long wet day. Every boot in this collection is built to the waterproof standard rather than the water-resistant one.
Modern waterproof membranes are designed to let water vapor escape while blocking liquid water from getting in, so they breathe better than a fully sealed rubber boot. They will still run warmer than an unlined leather boot. Pairing them with moisture-wicking socks makes a noticeable difference over a full shift.
Farming and livestock work, oilfield and pipeline, concrete and site work in spring, roadwork, and anything involving washdown or standing water. If you are regularly in mud past the welt or working outdoors through wet seasons, waterproof construction earns back the small premium over a water-resistant boot.
Yes, throughout this collection. You will find waterproof boots with steel, Nano Composite, and alloy caps tested to ASTM F2413, plus soft-toe waterproof models rated to ASTM F2892 for work where a protective cap is not required. Several waterproof models also carry met guards, including the Driscoll, Keavan, Thorn, and Pulley.
Rinse mud off before it dries, since grit abrades the leather and the seams. Let boots dry at room temperature with the insoles pulled out, away from direct heat, because heaters and dryers can shrink leather and damage the membrane. Conditioning the leather a few times a year keeps it supple and helps the seams stay sealed.
This collection spans 5 inches through 12 inches. Lower 5-inch and 6-inch models suit shop and trade work, 8-inch boots give more ankle coverage, and 11-inch and 12-inch shafts are the standard for Western work, farming, and oilfield use where keeping water and debris out matters most.
